Synopsis

"The Greatest Works of Émile Gaboriau" compiles the esteemed French author's pioneering contributions to the detective genre, establishing him as a precursor to modern crime fiction. Through intricate plots and meticulously developed characters, Gaboriau's narratives often intertwine social commentary with thrilling mystery, employing a realistic literary style characterized by sharp dialogue and vivid descriptions. His works, such as "L'Affaire Lerouge" and "Monsieur Lecoq," challenge readers to unravel the complexities of criminal investigations while reflecting the societal mores of 19th-century France, thus situating his writing within the burgeoning realist movement. Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873) was a trailblazing figure in literature, credited with bringing the detective story to the forefront of popular fiction. Raised in a time of rapid social change and industrialization, Gaboriau's early experiences in journalism and theater informed his narrative techniques and thematic concerns. His fascination with the mechanics of crime and justice led him to craft intricate plots, fueled by a desire to probe the darker aspects of human nature while capturing the zeitgeist of a newly urbanized society. Readers seeking an enthralling journey into the roots of detective fiction will find Gaboriau's works essential. This collection not only showcases the ingenuity of a writer ahead of his time but also invites literary enthusiasts to explore the intricate detective puzzles reminiscent of both Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. Dive into these timeless tales to appreciate the legacy and impact of Gaboriau's literary contributions.

    Her first fiction, written at a mere 16, was a violent medieval historical novel, ‘The Viper of Milan’.  Initially rejected by several publishers it went on to become a best-seller

Her literary output numbered over 150 volumes, mainly under the pseudonym of Marjorie Bowen but she also used the names Joseph Shearing, George R Preedy, John Winch, Robert Paye and Margaret Campbell.  Within this output she assigned the pseudonyms to the various genres she worked across, from Historical fiction to supernatural short stories.  
     
    Perhaps her best known work is the 1909 book ‘Black Magic’, a Gothic horror novel about a medieval witch. 
     
    Several of her works were also adapted into films.   
     
    She was married twice.  The first to Zefferino Emilio Constanza (they had two children), who died of tuberculosis, and then to Arthur L Long (and another two children).
